Here's an interesting thread:
http://www.etecownersgroup.com/post/...f-fuel-3633804
Also I recall Mercury recommending against additional in line fuel filters for the Optimax because the possible restriction to fuel flow could damage the engine. This was pointed out to be somewhat problematic given the injectors are so vulnerable to water contamination! I recall that the GM eventually came up with a compromise that they will still honour warranty claims for such set ups so long as it could be shown that fuel flow was not restricted.

Interesting that bit that they are the second highest outboard manufacturer after Mercury in china wonder what all the merc owners who have been bagging Chinese products have to say about that.
I do hope some of the contributors to this thread browse the Politics section. I am sure the irony will not be lost on them.
Playing the man and not the ball, talk about LMAO.

I would have thought that comments actually relevant to the post and topic might be more noteworthy than a throwaway line?
Anyway here is a bit on Optimax's and in line fuel filters which backs up my recollections:

If you hadn't decided that the links weren't worth reading you might have noticed they include comments and references from an Etec dealer, the Mercury installation Manual and the Mercury Vice President. Hardly amateurs?
PS: Amateurs don't have an a vested interest such as being in the business of selling one type of outboard motor.

The moderators on the Etec Owners site are Etec dealers (hence the thousands of highly technical posts.
Don't you think that an installation manual might be written by a 'professional person' (just priceless that one)!
Do you think that the VP of a company is in the habit of exaggerating or making up shortcomings of his product?
